ELK Hunting CAMP 2021 - A look inside our WALL TENT Camping setup
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 чер 2024
- It's September and for me, that means one thing - ELK hunting CAMP! In this video we'll take a look inside our 2021 wall tent camping setup. We recently got a new 16x20 canvas wall tent from Montana Canvas, complete with barrel stove. I talk about how we preserve food for long term camping trips in the mountains where making a run for ice just isn't practical, how we filter water, sleeping arrangements, clothes lines, and organization. Also, how to keep mice from chewing up your stuff! For the whole Hayes family, it's a great way to spend a few weeks camping and bowhunting elk in the mountains! We do most of the camp cooking on a two burner Camp Chef or out on the camp fire.
Don't forget to subscribe to the channel. We're uploading a new video each week that features one of the following topics: archery, bow hunting, bow building, survival skills, bushcraft, self reliance, primitive skills, primitive bows, hunting, camping, fishing, and a lot more!
Big thanks to our partners who help support these videos!

I remember at our first hunt, I was. 10...my dad told me this little saying...to a bear, a mummy bag looks like a burrito...but our job is to not let ours smell like one!
Congrats on the successful hunt. Almost feels like a vacation cut short when you got all setup and comfortable and tag out early. Spray the table with Flex Seal or bed liner.
Looks so homey. Congrats on a successful season🎊
Thank you!!
Family Elk Camp. That is so cool. Congratulations on the successful hunt Clay, Cant wait to see the hunt
Great explanation n clearly everything is organized. Wow. Complacent.
Congratulations on your Elk. Looking forward to that video.
Coming soon!
Very similar to how I set up my camp. One thing I add is mouse traps which helps slow down the mouse issues. A front vestibule helps keep stuff out of the sun and a place to strip off wet jackets before entering the tent. I would not drink straight out of any water source without a filter. I don't want my trip ruined by drinking a "bug". Glad your spending time with your entire family.
Looking forward to watching your upcoming hunting vids!! Congrats on the elk
Wall tents are awesome. I'm in BC and I've got a 13'x16' and I thought that was big, that thing's massive. Bit of work setting and tearing down but way better than any other tent I've had.
Great camp Clay, so how has life been since alone... I bet your glad to be home.. So you got your elk in a few days great job.. Elk hunt is on my bucket list hope to do it one day myself. Thanks for sharing.
So nice to see other people’s organization process and ideas. Always something you may not have considered. Thanks!
Good informative video, and cool that the entire family is involved!
The Lifetime brand coolers are just as good as Yeti and affordable 👌
Great camp Clay
Glad to hear you got an Elk
Nice setup. Looking forward to seeing your successful hunt.👍🏻
I'm looking forward to the upcoming videos. They sound good.
Great Hunt ....... Your A Blessed Man That you can hunt with your Family Keep it up
Excellent organization!
For first time campers and hunters I HIGHLY discourage drinking out of ANY creeks, rivers, etc. if you choose to do so, there are things you can buy to make the water safer amply boiling the water. I personally know of 2 hunters that became very sick and had to be taken to the nearest hospital for treatment. The guide told the it was safe to drink the creek water. It’s not just cattle or other people that can make water bad.
Can’t wait for the elk hunt!!
Thank you for the great video. It is nice to see the family that gives you strength and support. Too many men exclude their family, implying that they do it all with no help.
They’ll be a big part of the elk hunting vid as well.
Looking forward to all the videos!
Clay, I use yoga mat cut to size on my portable tables in my workshop, don't even need to glue it down.
Looks like an awesome set up man, good luck bro
What an awesome husband,father, mentor you are. New to your channel and love the content. Those boys are lucky to have you teach them the way!!
Welcome aboard!
Good stuff, can’t wait for the hunt videos.
Awesome Camp excellent setup. You look mellow and calm. Maintain mellowness, don't go crazy buying. Say no often to the cousins u don't know who suddenly want to borrow. LOL BLESSINGS
outstanding, thanks! always enjoy seeing the hunts but it's important to be able to live out there to hunt :)
Wow. Great team of family. Great love from marikina Philippines. Youre all great esp master Clay
That's an awesome camp setup, Clay!
The only thing I like better is a tipi.
The wool point blanket is an essential in my lodge. Cheers pardner!
Congratulations on a successful hunt and quality time with family
Also, nice moose sheds! And do you think you brought enough saw for firewood? Lol
Congratulations on the elk!!
love the set up, the only things i tend to add is, solar panels, a large solar battery bank, that lets me charge devises as well as run a small fridge/freezer, as well as interrior lights, and.... bug netting ont he cots. LOL.
Great setup. Similar to ours but on a bigger scale. We usually have two guys per tent and only stay 1-2 weeks.
Hey clay, I was wondering if you could do a gear review on first lite and their new camo pattern. Can’t wait to watch those elk hunting videos
Sure, I talked about there stuff a lot in the previous video where I talked about the clothes I took on Alone.
Silicone mat works great for stopping cutting boards and things from sliding.
Good video Clay I love my Utah cylinder stove
Nice set up. I’ve been wanting a Montana wall tent.
Great video thanks for sharing. Try putting a wet paper towel under your cutting board to keep it from sliding
Can’t wait to see the Elk hunt!
Coming up
Great video...
Quality choices there
Go to Wally World and buy a roll of the rubber shelf matting used to keep glasses and dishes from sliding around in your cupboards, roll it out on the table, take it up when done, you can wash spills off of it by sticking it in a sink and it is light weight and no need to glue it down.
Love it!!
Thank you!!
comment for the algorithm...looking forward to see that elk hunt video too!
I really like the old Dodge Crew Cab behind you!
Thanks, I built that truck
Holy crap it’s the guy from ALONE! Congrats on that, you were my pick to win from the beginning!! Was a coin flip between you and Colter. Glad you got it done!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
That's a funny thumbnail Clay. Your own mini pet elk
We keep that one around camp 😆
Looking forward to the new season clay. Mice are actualy worse than bears i found. What i did was get the sonic plug ins, an inverter, car battery and a solar panel. Worked fantastic. Never had a problem with them after that.
I’ll look into that!
Some great camp-tips!! ...kind of disappointed you got your elk so fast. LOL! I was kind of hoping we'd see you out there for the full time. ha ha.
Yeah, you and me both. But when hunting with a stick bow, I’ve learned to not pass up opportunities!
Awesome
Clay, awesome stuff! Wish that I was still young enough to do what you do .Curious to know if you are related to the folks in the Jay/Mt. Carmel community. They are really good people, took good care of my parents during their stay there
Get the Non-Slip Router Mat, 2' x 3' from Rockler for $10.39 should work great.
To sum up rusty shacklefords question in one word, “peaceful” is how it’s done!
Isn't that the way it goes. Bring supplies for a months long hunt and success comes the first week. Congrats on your elk.
Good and bad!
That's what I was thinking. It's a good problem to have.
Hudson bay trading company blankets! I love those.
and surprising how many people don't recognize HBC colors.
We love ours too!
Very nice clay
Wood burning stove is a must in my opinion!
You might use portable electric bear fence around your camp or field processing sites . Lightest is 2.4 Ibs , so you don’t feed the bears.
Great setup Clay, cant wait for the hunt footage. What backpack was it next to your water? It look nice!
Kifaru StrykerXL
Try bed liner on your table it works good!
Thanks for the tip!
Thanks for the tour. Congrats on the early harvest.
Our pleasure!
The real star of the show at 7:59
Use rug no slip matting for your table it's cheap thin and will probably last quite a while
Thanks
Awesome video, thank you!! Wonder if you would have as much of a rodent problem if you had a wall tent that came with a floor?
Rusty Shackleford 🤣
Shelf liner grip mat. Cheap & easy. $8-10. No need to glue, sticks to table and object. Just lift off, shake mat and wipe table as needed.
Thanks
our mountain camp looks nearly identical, but we pack in so our pack boxes turn into shelves/ table/ cooktop instead of a table
I know it’s really you dale!
when are you going to do the review of the final episode? thanks
I'm #5👍
You're to cool. congrats on the bull
Clay, nice setup. I noticed in your video that Liz was cooking inside the tent. Wouldn't the tent wall get splattered from grease and food splatters from cooking inside and start to smell? We have an outfitters tent and we find that if you cook inside, the tent will start to smell bad. We try to cook outdoors in a sheltered area.
Been doing it that way for years without issue. She’s not too messy 😉
Nice set up! How many times can you say "here" in one video? LOL
Here😆
What brand is the huge cot for 2? I have been searching for this forever!
Flex seal half the table Clay
You mentioned you have guys building bows with you. Do you put on clinics where a guy like me can partake and if so, how?
Sounds like you need to take a barn cat with you hunting.
Remind me of me 40 years ago I had a 16 by 30 army tent I hunted with Muzzleloader killed some nice elk and dear
Cool camp! How do you handle bears around the food?
Never had any problems
Is this in grizz country? Curious how that affects your setup...
Do you ever have black bear problems in your Elk camp?
You need a ground sheet inside the tent Clay. Not much fun with damp, soggy ground inside your tent!
Pretty dry here. We’ll have one for late season.
A damp paper towel/bar towel under the cutting board will solve your sliding issues.
Big tent, Are we going to see the hunt?
Yep
Question, are you hunting where there are no bears etc. Where I live we never cook in camp nor store food in camp
Had 2 bears tear up the tent/camp. Just curious.
There's a few black bears around but no griz.
@@clayhayeshunter good to know..I am in High Rockies..
Great setup! We are not campers nor hunters but maybe in the future we’ll tag along with my daughter who loves to camp. Btw I had signed up for the email list, any info about your book? I’d like to give it to my daughter for Christmas. Thanks
Hey Connie, it should be available in time for Christmas
@@clayhayeshunter thank you.
👏🏼💪🏽🇺🇸
Canning is that with the Ball and similar types of jars or some kind of metal jar?
Ball mason jars
@@clayhayeshunter Thanks I Have heard of people in my area doing this to have the food last longer in the fridge and the freezer at home.
This may be a stupid question, but why leave after killing only one elk? Do you only have one elk tag, or is it because it's enough for a year for your family?
Just one elk tag. Liz also has a tag but it’s for a different unit.
What i wouldnt give to do what you do.
Hi Clay! I know you are one busy dude. But I have a guestion for you. I have been shooting for couple years now. And I think it would be a time for an upgrade. Just getting my hunting license and ready to go for my first real hunts bymyself. I want something that I know for 100% sure is going to be me, who is going to be the bad shot. Not the bow. I have watched alot of your videos the past couple years and even commented on some of them. So I know you are a straight up guy! Do you have any recommendations for a good quality bow? All tuned and set up. Fred Bears bows still good? They sometimes run in the -30% marks, so you can get their top of the line bows for 500€, here in europe. At somepoint you had some of your bows for sale, but they are a bit out from my price range. Edit. Then on the other note. What would be the best of the best? If I want to go all in for a hunting bow? Still love all of your hard work! Cheers from Finland!
There are so many options I couldn’t say what’s the best for you. You will have to tune the bow and arrows to yourself though. Give 3Rivers a call. They can help you with the right selection.
@@clayhayeshunter Hi man! Thank you for your answer!
Will you be hunting any dear this year?
I don’t usually have to hunt my dear. She’s usually close at hand😉. I will be hunting deer though!
@@clayhayeshunter hahaha my fat thumbs. Darn auto correct ;)
Cooking and food inside the tent? No bears in area?
There’s a few but they’re not a problem.
What brand of wood stove is that?
Not sure. I got it through Montana Canvas
Man, you've got an elk down already? Sometimes it happens too quick.
Yep, I’m not sure what to do with myself!
Damp paper towel under a cutting board to stop sliding.
Good tip
Someone found some moose billets
What poundage is your bow? I'm from central Montana. Where was your camp at
Where is the toilet and shower
In the bushes
Lol was that a video of an elk being silly or was he dying?
12 VOLT REFRIGERATOR CHEST &
2 100watt Solar panels and one battery THAT WILL KEEP THINGS FROZEN
MY 2 CENTS ON 😎👍
A good thought. Outfitters are going in 'heavy' anyway. Today's portable solar panels and storage systems provide wondrous flexibility and might just as well ride in the truck!
I may have to look into that!
